Subway Aid Falls Off Track

Maya J. Pope-Chappell

Abstract

New York is expected to get $1 billion in transit funds as part of the federal stimulus package – but that may not be enough to keep major projects like the Second Ave. Subway and No. 7 train extension on track, officials say. Advocates, meanwhile, are calling on transit officials to dedicate more money to system upkeep as fare hikes and service cutbacks appear all but certain.
